Bet they're wishing IL had Recall, now. Although mostly Recall is wacky, too, so maybe not.

Natter 62: The 62nd Natter
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Speculation was that Charlie announced the engagement to have a shot at the VP with McCain and now is going through with the wedding. I would have thought that it was laughable that McCain would have chosen him with his gay reputation, but considering how carefully they vetted Palin it could have happened.
I haven't seen any credible press that our governor is in fact gay. Just the fact that he has a 100% gaydar reaction from just about everyone. We disagree about just about everything, but generally I don't think he is the worst person at the job. Not particularly corrupt, just orange.
I was kinda sad that McCain didn't choose him because they looked so good together. [link]
they looked so good together.
... and here I was just wondering if "orange" meant something political and figurative. Nope.
Quinn seems to think there's another way to take the appointment away from Blago in 3 days. [link]
Good lord, the man looks like an Oompa-Loompa from the 70's era Willy Wonka!
The problem with asking him to step down is assuming that he might do so for the greater good of the state of Illinois. (I would guess that it would have to be couched in someway to look like it would be for the greater good of Rod Blagojevich.)
I missed this on first glance.
He added he had not talked to Blagojevich since 2007.
The Lt. Gov hasn't spoken to the Gov in almost a year? ?!

I googled "Charlie Crist Oompa Loompa", and, well, you're not the first person to make that observation.
Funniest bit from aurelia's link:
He [the Lt. Governor] added he had not talked to Blagojevich since 2007.
I mean seriously, y'all.
The Lt. Gov hasn't spoken to the Gov in almost a year? ?!
It's all so crazy!!!! and his biggest political enemy, I understand, is his father-in-law?
What a soap opera!
